Solution
Custom Benchmarking Reporting Platform
The City of Brotherly love also has a passion for being green. To reach the ambitious sustainability goals they’ve set for themselves, the city requires building owners to report on their energy performance through a citywide benchmarking program. But with hundreds of buildings—and limited tools to streamline the process—reporting was slow, inconsistent, and often error-prone.
Verdanity partnered with the City of Philadelphia to design and develop a custom software solution that automates benchmarking reporting at scale. Our platform pulls data from multiple sources, standardizes it, and generates reports that meet the city’s sustainability and regulatory requirements—no manual entry, no time-wasting guesswork. Now, what once took weeks of coordination can happen in just a few clicks, helping Philadelphia stay on track to meet its climate goals with confidence and clarity.
We helped Philly manage data more efficiently by:
Building a platform to analyze building energy data across diverse formats
Introducing automated workflows that simplify and speed up report generation
Standardizing a piece of the benchmarking process citywide, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and time savings
Creating a system built to support ongoing compliance with sustainability mandates
Philadelphia now has a centralized, scalable way to ensure buildings across the city are staying compliant, contributing to climate goals, and moving toward better energy performance.
